This is the standard inflection template for English proper nouns. This template works exactly like {{en-noun}} except for defaulting to having no plural (i.e. uncountable) and adding the term to Category:English proper nouns instead of Category:English nouns. All of the options documented for {{en-noun}} also apply to {{en-proper noun}}. See {{en-noun}} for more information.
This template contains the necessary meta-data to allow users who are using accelerated editing to create any grammatical forms semi-automatically.
